Green Pastures: The Ordinary Means of Grace for ordinary believers

This new and revised edition of Davidson’s pastoral study “Green Pastures” gets to the heart of how God works in the world – it discusses the ordinary means of grace by which God will save and sanctify His church. You may have never heard the phrase “means of grace” before, but it is deeply important that you not only know its meaning, but also understand its implications for us today. The means of grace lie at the heart of reformed doctrine, they are taught, exemplified and present throughout the scriptures, and without them the Christian is greatly deprived. So, what are means of grace? And why are they important? In “Green Pastures: Ordinary Means of Grace for Ordinary Believers” J. Ryan Davidson show us why God has not just promised that He will build His kingdom, but also how he will build His kingdom. The ways by which he will do it are called “means of grace” because they are the means or tools by which God will save, sanctify, edify and preserve his people. This book is for every person that prays, takes the Lord’s Supper, and preaches or listens to preaching – in other words, it is for every Christian! Read this book and be emboldened in God and His glorious Word of grace (Acts 20:32).

‘One of the things that binds confessional Presbyterians and Reformed Baptists together is their common commitment to a ministry shaped by the ordinary means of grace. Such a ministry is not a matter of arbitrary personal taste but driven by our understanding of exactly what God's grace is and how it becomes a reality in the lives of Christians. This short book helps in that regard, offering short, sound accounts of the Word, sacraments, and prayer in a manner that will help all of those seeking a ministry that reflects biblical priorities and teaching.’ Carl Trueman, Carl R.
